Translation/SummaryJust signed up for a memebership at the gym Planet Fitness, main sponsor for The Biggest Loser. Just like "no excuses" is the statement of the show there is definitely no excuses to not go to the gym when it costs $10 a month! During my first visit yesterday it was all about them legs who got to taste the pain on the treadmill, crosstrainer and leg machines!

Zumba in the Big Apple is not a game and instructor Ben Byrd has a great mix of latin american dances and strength exercises in his classes! Today he surprised us with a The Biggest Loser tv-serie kind of workout. Push ups, lounges, burpees NON STOP! But in that moment when you feel you can't possibly do one more and still managed to push yourself the last bit, THAT is the best feeling in the world!

Two Britney choreographies in two days and like the icing on the cake one of them was to "Me against the Music", one of my favorite Britney songs! Britney has always been my idol and when dancing to her songs I can't help but picture myself as a dancer in her tour....Hey, a girl can always dream ;)

October 3rd 2011, I started my ISVP (International Student Visa Program) adventure at Broadway Dance Center in New York City.

As an ISVP I have 12 classes per week - 5 within my concentration hip hop, at least 2 ballet, 3 diversity (outside my concentration) and 2 electives. You can choose a program of 3, 6 months or 1 year, I did a year.

This was my first time moving away from home and it has been a rough and rocky road to say the least, a year filled with sweat and tears. In a city with so many people you can also feel very lonely.

But all this has given me fighting spirit and priceless experiences that I can share. Cause with every day you are, as Britney Spears, "stronger than yesterday".

"In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made, there's nothing you can't do now you're in New York. These streets will make you feel brand new, big lights will inspire you, let's hear it for New York!"
